Shakespeare's Sonnets by William Shakespeare
"Shakespeare's Sonnets" by William Shakespeare is a collection of poems published in 1609. The work includes 154 sonnets, with sonnets 127-152 addressing a mysterious figure known as the Dark Lady, described as having black wiry hair and dark skin. These poems contrast sharply with earlier sonnets through their overtly sexual nature. The Dark Lady's true identity remains one of literature's enduring mysteries, with scholars debating whether she was a real person or
purely Shakespeare's artistic invention. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
